The great southern realignment after the Civil Rights Act. You had a ton of conservative Democrats - who had been Democrats for a very long time - who were no longer willing to be "in coalition" with the national party. And whom the national party was no longer willing to make concessions on policy issues to keep them in coalition. They moved over to the GOP.
Quite so. The "boll weevil caucus", who wouldn't touch the GOP, due to Lincoln's "war of northern aggression", were turned to the GOP by Reagan's implicit racism, and enriching the rich, policies.
What I am proposing is a further fracture, along "woke" lines, where "woke" is admitting that anyone other than straight, white, Christian, men, has any value.
